ODA (Open Document Architecture) is ECMA 101. It has been adopted as
CCITT T.410, and as ISO 8613 (the latter under its original title of 
Office Document Architecture). It is a standard for describing various
features of the structure of a document, in both its revisable
(editable) and presentation (formatted) forms.

For an introduction see the article in "IEEE Computer", October 1985.

To some extent SGML (and associated standards like DSSSL and HyTime)
are making it less likely that ODA will become universal, though it
is certainly being used here and there. (Anyone know of any major users
of, or applications for, ODA?)
